Get Your Bath Tub Ready!

This years IWAI Bath-Tub race will be held on Newry Canal on Sunday the First of September so now is the time to get that glamorous contraption buoyancy tested!

IWAI have teamed up with Abbey Event Management who are organising events for Newry’s City Day in September and the Bath-tub will now be held along with the city triathlon on Sunday 1st September.

A Spokesperson for the IWAI Newry and Portadown Branch said "We are pleased with this outcome as the triathlon is also focussed on using the canal facilities that exist with the swim taking place in the Albert Basin. Businesses and individuals are welcome to participate in the raft race as usual."

The IWAI Surefreight trophy will be awarded to the senior winners with the McCrum cup for juniors and Courtney’s Restaurants will provide the trophy for the best dressed entry.
